The deadline for submissions is March 14, 2016.</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">NSC project allocations target large-scale activities that directly relate to one or more specific priorities in the NCAR strategic plan. Requests that address the grand challenges in the Path Forward, including the development of global models with limited-area higher-resolution grids and the use of data assimilation techniques and statistics with model development and verification, are especially encouraged.</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">NSC projects must be technically ready to begin production runs starting May 1, 2016, and should be completed within 12 months. NSC projects requiring more than one year’s allocation must submit continuation requests each year to report progress toward the project’s objectives. </font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">An estimated 50 million core-hours on Yellowstone will be available for the Spring 2016 projects, and requesters should plan to conduct these projects only on Yellowstone. (Look for opportunities to request time on Cheyenne in the fall.)</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">For more information and how to apply, see the NSC allocations documentation at <a href="http://www2.cisl.ucar.edu/docs/allocations/ncar/nsc" target="_blank">http://www2.cisl.ucar.edu/docs/allocations/ncar/nsc</a>.</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Because of the competitive nature of these allocations, labs may have chosen to coordinate submissions from each lab.
